The demand for making air traveling more 'pleasant, secure and productive for passengers is one of the winning factors for airlines today. high data rate communication services, in particular Internet applications are demanded more. global coverage is essential for providing continuous service In an aeronautical scenario. satellite communication becomes indispensable here. There is an ever increasing data rate requirements of applications and therefore the aeronautical satellite communication meets an expansive market. wireless access to communication services in flight should be provided as Mobile phones and laptops have become a necessity for the business travellers.

PASSENGER MULTIMEDIA COMMUNICATION SERVICE VIA SATELLITE
Aircraft multimedia services will be offered to passengers soon via
back-seat screens and IP cable networks. wireless access methods such as W-LAN
for data connections to laptops and UMTS for
personal telephony are suggested.
AERONAUTICAL SERVICE CONCEPT:
Future airliners will provide a variety of
entertainment and communications equipment to the
passenger to make the journey more pleasant. TV
screens, a rescue compartment with tele-medicine
equipment, or fixed installed satellite phones are expected to come in the aircraft cabins. UMTS and W-LAN, and Bluetooth can provide mobile communications in the aircraft.
Satellite Connection:
Connection to telecom networks is considered to be
achieved by satellites with large coverage areas. the
bandwidth that is requested by standard
interfaces of the wireless standards needs
to be adapted to the available bandwidth as only restricted satellite data rates will be
available. few geostationary satellites such
as the Inmarsat fleet are available for twoway
communications. The Ku-band may be
used on a secondary allocation basis.The use of different satellite
systems can provide the support of different service
bearers, and handover between satellite systems.
SERVICE ARCHITECTURE:
The central part of the service provisioning is the service integrator which will provide the interfaces for the wireless
and wired service access points in the cabin, as well
as the interface to the terrestrial networks at aircom
provider site. a router can connect the wired LAN segment and the wireless IEEE access points in the case of simple IP. an adaptation layer (AL) will be needed for the UMTS encapsulation. The network concept is called mobile since the
access network of the subscribers itself is on the
move, and the topology with respect to the fixed
service provider will change.
